We have this day continued our Extraas; from .the dmerican Papers which arrived yesterdny. they. confirm the account which we gave on Thursday, of 14e arrival of Mr . ; Rose at Norfolk, in Virginia ; ' 4 14 state, that before he landed he informed the Commanding Officer of the Port, that his Instruc tions were not to land until he received assurances that the Oaken! and Crew of the Ship in which he came should be received' with hospitality; and put on the same friendly footing as the Officers and Ships of France, or any oilier Country in atilty with America, The Commanding Officer not. instructed how to ad in this case, sent 'off nlniss to Washington, and an answer was,re "fled, which proving' satisfaclory to Mr. Rosa, he landed,' and proceeded 'On . the journey to Washingt- . t "' The Political disputes in America appear to grow every day more violent.

No Power of the Old World, though supported by the aid of the English Marine; would be able to effect there a successful invasion, or a permanent con quest. A nation safe from this apprehension, it always independent. It can neither receive laws from a foreign force, nor be long blind to its own interests, nor be negle&lul of its own resources. The more populous it becomes the more necessity it will feel to develope itself, the less will it admit foreigners to gather that which it may gain for its own account. Thus the Brazilian will soon learn to manufaeture the raw cottons and hides which he sent to the mother country. Already have English. artificers set oat in great numbers to esta blish mantifadories and tanneries in the Brazils. But these artists, will soon. become the children Of a new country ; their labour will" enrich it, and contribute to detach it from the alliance of England.. Thus of the two hypotheses which we have proposed, neither is favourable to the po litical or . mercantile speculations of the English Government. Either the Brazils will remain in their Tresent state, and the loss of Portugal is without compensation; or the Brazils will be come a great enipire," and then England will:not be able to maintain there its commercial domi nation. In whatever point of view it is looked at, it is always_to her the loss of an immense colony ; and, should the House of Braganza return to Europe, as the event which made it leave it must inevitably change its relations, England must stilt have to deplore the result."

About two o'clock, she was greatly alarmed by, the cracking of the.roof of the ,house; shortly after a large stack of chimnies were. bloWn down by the high wind, which forced in part of the roof and the ceiling ef her, Ladyship's bed roorn, when near a ton of brick, together with the ceiling, fell in, and literally buried her Ladyship. In this perilous :sitnation she remained till after four o'clock, when she was released by her domestics.— The, whole Of the back roof, together with the sky light of her Ladyship's hack drawing-room, are completely demolished.

Shortly after the Court had assernblecl this morning, ,Ck)lonel Taatt EN s's evidence of yesterday. was read over, and his further examination was proceeding when our 4spress left Chelsea.

'.When the venerable General inquired, by the interpreter, the cause of his chagrin, the savage stood ere}, and told his illustrious host, that some years ago, when he was in the Indian castle, he, thi savage, had otrered him the embraces of his ',Flaw; and that be was wonderfully' surprised t:;L:t the Ge neral had not • returned this instance of civility, by a similar offer of Mrs. WAOHINOTON. The Gene ml excused himself, by averring that •it was *not * ,the custom..of his country. As Mrs., WASHING., TON, who was present, understood the tenor of the de 'mand, she became much agitated with terror, which the Indian perceiving, he told her with manly nity, that she had nothing to fear; as, -if the Gene ral had complied, 'be should only, have .wallted up to k*,tip Signify.his, right to this sort of hospitable courtesy, and then bowing, have resigned' her to her white Chief. • A few nights since a most d.=...struaive fire took tOok place in Kirrytnuir, ScOtland.

The flames were, driven by the wind to an adjoining tenement of thatched houses, which providentially escaped by being covered with . snow.
